Any Mixed Marriages here? Esp Chinese-Malay Muslim couple

Chin, Meraj's brother is Menhaj. He's the director and the co-producer. He doesn't have the writing skills in the family. Meraj is the one for that.

The cake..ahem. Bottom layer is brownie. Middle tier is triple choc fudge. Top layer is mango mousse. Thinking about it is already making me salivate...

Cuclainne, yeah. UK is intimating in that sense: the teens are too haggly. I feel intimated by the 15 year-olds thus that's why got no choice and stay in better "snooty" areas to keep me safe.
 


Hello babes!!!!! I've been recuperating from the weekend...didn't have much sleep. Went to work like a zombie on Monday. Still feeling sluggish today. Heh....quite a birthday celebration Feroz's frens planned for him...like celebrating 21st bday like that...sheesh.

Wah...everybody's wedding is coming soon. So exciting...more pics to see. Guess I'm one of the last few to get married.

Marnie
Hehehe....we walked past a florist yesterday and I went....."Eh..the sunflowers ssssssoooooooo pretty." and he went..."yeah."...all without even looking at the sunflower! Bleargh....nvm...I'll see what he comes up with for my birthday.

12 units in one day! Phew! That takes a lot of stamina. And Ooo-la-la! Your wedding cake sounds like it's gonna generate a lot of drool among your guests.

Sandra
Heh...yeah...very difficult shopping for men. I only bought Feroz's gift at the last min. Heh......thank god he likes it.

Huichin
Oooooo......so Feroz and Fi the same age...cool. When is Fi's bday? About the outing....put me down for the 16th....I'm free next week. School hols!!! Yee haa!

Cucclaine
You're indeed one cool lady. Decided on the dinner venue yet?



The movie looks very disturbing indeed.
I hated London when I went there a few years back. Everything was so gloomy, everyone was so colourless...i dunno how to describe it but I just didn't enjoy my trip there. The situation with the teens there is really disturbing.....a whole new level of "Hanyut" eh?
 
Good morning Ladies......one question...Zulradi or Fatimah Mohsin?? I like Zul Radi's make up style....but i'm in love with Fatimah Mohsin's outfits. PLus I'm not so sure about signing up with Zulradi. I am quite worried that these make-up artists wouldn't do a good job with my hair. Cos so far I haven't seen any pics of their brides with curly hair. So I asked Zul...and he said..horrors of all horrors....he would have to straighten my hair to do up into those buns. I'm like what!!! No way! I like my natural curly hair thank you. But he insisted that i'll look nicer if he straightens my hair and all...eekkss. I'm so tempted to just get my regular hairstylist to do my hair. But that would mean extra costs cos she's not cheap. Sigh.

Hehe..sorry for the long mak nenek post so early in the morning. And i'm having a real headache with finding the right venue...wah lau eh..didn't know it'd be so difficult. Gosh...someone get me a wedding planner already...hehehehe.
 
Marnie,
Yeah..i had been superbly busy. Yeah..with family, going back to workforce, renovation and moving house.

Ooh ok..good that you confirmed a lot of things already. Looking forward to it. Oh crap! That means i have to "fight" all my way through for your wedding cake lah. You serving it to the guests right? Eh, if you see any girl take all 3 at one go... don't think she's greedy oh. You know it's me lah.. want to try all your tiers! Hahahah...
353189.gif
 
Raf, ! love your curls. I am horrified that anyone (not least the make-up artist/hairstylist) dare to suggest straightening. No one should be touching your nice curls! (Meraj thinks you look exotica with your curls and reminds me a pretty Hawaiian girl -- see lah, that man, fiance next to him, still admiring other girls!
rofl.gif


A MUA/hairstylist should be able to do something to enhance you and your assets, not drastically someone to a person she is not. With that, my choice is clear. Though I'm not for Fatima Mohsin for service reasons...but don't let deter you from going to the bridal shop and just getting a feel of the people involved.

Raf, so is your 500 pax and the dinner receptions going to be at the same place? Or can it be done at different venues? Don't fret - at least you still have time to scout around.

IC, eh...didn't know you are moving? Pray tell where --> super kpoh me lah...
proud.gif
and moving too?!?! Gosh dear, how are you managing it all - you're sucha trooper!

Re. my cake. It's going to on a table in front of the pelamin. With small saucer plates for guests to cut themselves. I think I need to cup up with a visual instructions manual on how to cut a tiered cake cos' there's a way to do it without toppling the rest of the cake. Don't worry about taking slices from all 3 layers --> Meraj and I are planning to do the same!
wink.gif
 
Marnie: i think that show looks kind violent too...but seems quite cool in the movie aspects. hehe..i actually quite like this type of street-style movie..haha...the yo-yos fr the black peeps and the minah style..i like! haha

Rgding ur cake, sounds soooo yummy! haha..we all wanna try it! lol

Btw - Rouz couture, got any website to look at? heh...

Raf: Hahah..Fi is a children's day Kid! haha..

Yea Marnie's rite. What makes u special are Ur curls!! haha...so dun let them do anything 'unnatural' to ur hair ya! hhehe...Btw i'll be in the same era as u - one of the last few here to get married! hahaa...

Ok girls, so next wk how? Can u make it on the 16th or 17th March? Thur/Fri?

Ally: Let us know if u can make it to our next gathering k!
 
Chin, thank you for your birthday wishes - I feel really good today despite clocking up a notch in the age factor --> don't know why.
lol.gif


Hey hey hey...thought we all forgot about our dinner date - I can most definitely make it on Thursday. Got something planned on Friday.
 
Raf

What the ladies say is true .. your curly hair is YOU so don't compromise and give in to having your hair straightened. The MUA should be able to work with it ..

Marnie

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, girl!! Has Meraj planned anything special tonight?

Chin

I'm ok with Thursday
 
Marnie,

Happy B-Day girl! Any special plans from Meraj? Your cake sounds yummylicious. Juz the description of it makes me drool...

Huichin,

Sorry girl, 16th - I might not be able to make it. It's the school holidays, and we'll be gg back to our home in Senawang. But nonetheless...it's all in the planning...should I be back by then..I will give u a sms.
 
Marnie,
Didn't know your birthday actually. But since all these girls post, definitely must be your birthday lah! So anyway...
353314.gif


I am trying my best to manage. The thing that dreads me the most is the packing & unpacking. I send you private email ok. Check your email.
 
Marnie
Happy Birthday Babe!!!! How was the pampering session yesterday?

Ideally...his parents want to have both the lunch and dinner at the same place on the same day. Having it at a CC would solve the problem except that Feroz wants the dinner to be held at a place with a nicer ambience and scenery. Plus one that allows us to bring in our own caterers. So cerewet this man. He likes a few places and we'll be checking it out next week.

Marnie, Cuclainne & Huichin
blush.gif
Hehehe....I like my curls too and I am gonna feel so weird if I have to straighten my hair. It's like losing my identity. I'm going down to Zulradi again next week to look at his clothes and stuff. Heading to fatimah mohsin too. So we'll see how things turn out. My fren recommended a freelance MUA to me. Apparently he's quite good but pricey. Furthermore, if I go that way, I will have to get outfits separately which will be more ex plus leceh. We'll see how it goes.
 
Huichin
Did Fi get extra presents from his Pri sch teachers on children's day??? hehe...
I'm ok with both 16th and 17th. And yeah..I foresee the two of us frantically planning for our weddings end of this year...or maybe it'll just be me...the last minute queen....hehe.
 
Hello Girls....wahh....been very quiet here eh? Where has everyone gone to?

Oooh..thank you for your well wishes Girls. I had a great time. Nothing special. But we had great pizza at Chijmes. Then the next day, we went on the Hippo Tour (--> I'm such a geek!) We had fun!

Raf, shiok lah! Go mani and pedi. All I had to do was sit back and enjoy myself. I even took a cat's nap when they were doing the pedi. I sound like such a lazy git!
rofl.gif


Re. the BS. Keep your options open. I think best if you go recce the BS first and then get at the meetings, ask about the prices should you just take the baju and not the make-up. You'd be able to come up with a better financial analysis then. Let us know how your meetings with the BS go okie?

IC, thanks - got your email. Think you make the best decision on that.
 
Raf: Yea i agree wif Marnie. recce 1st better..for ur BS.

haha...he used to! till the time when he became a teenager! HAHA..

Marnie: Yea it's been so quiet!! Good to hear u're enjoying urself! heheh..

i cant believe i got time to post on a freakin mon! haha..now..nothin to do leh..haha..crazy me

just finished my projects..but dun think this will last for long..ahhaaha
kao_laugh.gif


Girls, this thur/fri on? which day?
 
Chin, I can make it on 16th (Thursday) only....

Hey make full use of your "free" (ahem!) time.....if not, you're always buried in front of your work..tsk tsk..
 
Me okay to meet Cuclainne, so just three of us plus Raf? Eh...we got new makan kaki.....YIPPEE!!!!
bounce.gif


Raf, you're still on for tomorrow right?

Chin?
 
Halo girls

i feel like banging my head against the wall now. One of our designer decided to QUIT amidst the doing of a huge annual report and it has to be ME to clear his SH*T up. and stuff has to go out by tmr + fri. So i think i cant make it most probs. You girls go ahead k. Sighs...If i can make it, i'll call u all k.

So sorry abt it.
 
{{{Chin)))) - don't worry about meeting up tonight sweetie. Just do what you have to do. (and kick that designer's arse for me, will ya?)

Well, Cuclainne & Raf, looks like we have to postpone our makan session.

By the way Raf, how was your recon session with Feroz on venues?
 
Marnie: Thks. Went home at 4am on Wed nite btw. haha..then 12plus am on Thur..haha..

What's happening to this thread? everyone pretty busy huh? lol...

Am supposed to be on leave! And i'm back in ofis. Great. lol
kao_frustrated.gif
 
Hi, girls!

Been quite sometime.. bz with work and now I'm holidaying still in Senawang (practically lazing around actually).

Wah! This thread abit quiet eh? How's everybody?
 
Chin, must sayang sayang you more...remember to take time to smell the roses, okie? Fall ill also not good. (Speaking of which, my throat is acting funny...eeeek!)

Um, I've sent you an email.

Hello Ally! Wahh..lucky bugger you...Senawang. Real tai tai ain't you?
biggrin.gif


I've been busy with my wedding prep ler. Went to my makcik's place to give out invites. Decided to just say "XXX suami isteri" instead of "XXX and family". Aiyoh...invite whole family later come with the whole troop - scary! Let them all talk bad about me for all I care. They are going to gossip anyways about the venue.
lol.gif
 
Marnie,

Wat tai tai? go back there to clean and spruce up the place.. got lah. But we manage to catch the F1 qualifying race on Saturday though. Everytime I go there..always gives me the adrenaline rush..woohoo!!

Understand completely ur intentions. But true lah..if u dun specified accordingly.. the whole batallion comes and attack..worse!! Hei..come to think of it..its like a month away fron the D-day, ya? Everything in place?
 
Haha...thankies Marnie~! haha..Yea i will! Thks to work, i've been living an unhealthy lifestyle for the past 2 months! Been dying to go exercise oso! Reservoir, Here i come!!!
bounce.gif


I seriously think it's normal for u to state tt for ur invites..cos somehow it's true when u say 'and family', the whole kampong will come! hzhahaha...
kao_laugh.gif


So envy u...can have ur wedding in a nice cosy small group. More orderly and enjoyable! Can save some monies oso..haha..

Whoa Ally~! So long neber hear from u...if u're still there, enjoy ur hols!!
lol.gif


Btw there's this OUtdoor wedding show thingy going on on the 7th-9th April. Anyone going? haha...i tot wanna pop by to see..At Bugis area i think..wanna see if i can 'steal' any ideas or not!~ haha...
 
Hello hello Girls!

I have been busy in the office lately. Trying to clear lots of work before I go for leave for the Big MO. Never realise how much junk I keep - found a choc bar which expired in 2004!
lol.gif


Chin, me wanna go too......but we see how cos' that's a bit too close to the crunch time...but me itchified lah....wanna have some visual treat....
happy.gif


Um, so how's work been? Coping or not with that designer gone?

Hello Cuclainne, long time no see...so how's your sanding and dinner plans coming along?
 
Marnie

Didn't you just move to a new office? You mean, you brought the candy bar over with you? Hehehehehe!

All the cards for the sanding has been sent out - phew! and we've finalised the venue for the dinner. It's the Middle Eastern restaurant that Ah Boy and I went to for Valentine's. I'm going to finalise the food and drink order today. They're going to serve the food on platters and everyone will just grab what they want to eat! Yummy!

But I totally forgot the cake and everywhere requires us to order at least 3-4 days before. Argh! Ah Boy and I decided to forego the cake but my maid of honor insists that I should have a cake, even a single layer one, just for the symbolism. Hmm! We're going to settle for a standard chocolate cake from Secret Recipe (which we also hope to be able to share with the restaurant staff - make them happy also la!) and I will try to decorate it on my own. I shall have to call them today!

By the way, I haven't settled my make-up and hair for tomorrow. I'm freaking out! Do I really need to get all dolled-up since the venue is a bit 'low-lit'? Hahahahaha! My maid of honor passed me some numbers of some freelance MUA so I suppose I should get off my butt and do some calling for that. Sigh ..
 
Cuclainne, another alternative is to go to the make-up counter and just get a makeover...sometimes for free! Helena Rubinstein came to my office to give a talk and they do makeup for under $100.00. No hair style though.

Choc cake from Secret Recipe is yummy - good choice!
biggrin.gif


PS. Yes, I think I just swept my table at the old office and brought that choc bar with me - eeeeuuuu!
 
Marnie

Hmm .. yes, that is definitely an alternative since I'm on leave tomorrow and have the whole day to get things done.

Ah Boy was practically drooling over their Chocolate Moist Cake and he never drools over chocolate cake so it's a must buy!
 
marnie, ally, elaine and hui chin

thank you for yesterday. it was really nice to see some familiar faces. i really hope that you've enjoyed yourselves.
 
Cuclainne, must must must show us pictures when they are ready okie? I'm so excited! You look ravishing dear and Elias looked handsome!

We enjoyed ourselves (dear Meraj kept raving about the chicken dish you had...
rofl.gif
) trust him to compliment the food first and not the couple...
lol.gif
 
Ally

I was under tons of make-up. When the event was over, I had my maid of honor come into the bathroom to see the difference between my actual skin tone and the foundation that was on my face. Hahahaha. But thank you.

Marnie

Well, we are glad that you and Meraj enjoyed yourselves. I was a bit concerned because my mom forgot to cook something extra for Elias (he only had the sweet n sour fish, and pickled vege). Afterwards he stuffed himself with more food (I have no idea where he got it from, because my mom told me that almost all the food were finished - which is good!).
 
Cuclainne,

Bz whole day thru'out. We had 2 HFMD cases in our centre and everybody's freaking out.. Finally managed to sit down infront of pc to check emails.
 
hey Girls!

Sorry that I haven't been here much - work has been crazy and we're finalising a few screwy details on the wedding --> I'm still calm and unfazed though so that's a good sign and mantra to adopt till the wedding day, no?
biggrin.gif


Will try to post more later.
 
hi Girls,
Don't know whether this thread is dead or what..

marnie,
i can't remember whether i told you. But i will be attending your wedding.

ally,
long time never meet. see you at marnie's wedding.
 
Hello IC, thanks. You did tell me you're attending. I'm sooo glad that I would finally be able to put a face to a name!
happy.gif


I've been so darn busy tying up loose ends, Girls. My invite list has bludgeoned to 50 pax more than anticipated but I'm not panicking yet. I just played with the table size --> upped from 4ft to 5ft so can seat 2 mroe people at each table.
biggrin.gif


Need to finalise the out of town baskets, start seating arrangements, finish up the songlist and send the photos for developing in time to be displayed at the reception. Hmm....all that somehow made me seem like a procrastinator..
rofl.gif


How has everyone been? I miss you Girls!
 
Marnie

I'm sure you'll manage to sort things out - you're very resourceful, I wish I had half your talent.
happy.gif


Haven't been here cos my morning sickness have been acting up and poor Ah Boy has to do my bidding la. Hahahahah.
 
Morning girls!

Marnie,

Thumbs up to u girl..Think back then, I did not bother to look at the fine details of my wedding prep. Juz give it all to my wedding planner..so malu!!

Cuclainne,

Morning sickness..hmmmm..
kao_smile.gif

Feel so excited for Marnie, looking forward to see Marnie & meet u all on her Big day too! heh...go Marnie go!

haha...Ally: Ur ah Lao can chit chat man tok wif my bf lah! lol
lol.gif


Hey Cuclainne: u looked great on ur wedding! wanna see ur photos! haha
 
Hui Chin

Thanks for the compliments. I still haven't gotten the 'official' photos yet - my photographer went to Bangladesh to shoot a friend's wedding so will probably have to wait until he returns.

But I have some photos online on my fotopages .. did you keep the link?
 
Cuclainne, no lah...won't die...choy!

I've been rather busy tying up loose ends, you know lah, headcount for catering, programs, last minute confirmation on stuff. And doing the seating arrangements is a killer!
angry.gif


Eh...don't forget to forward me the link to your "official" pictures when they are ready okie?

How have you been holding up dear?
 


Marnie

You must be busy, busy, busy ... final countdown to the big day yah!

My morning sickness has been really making me ill, I lost 1.5kg. But doctor said everything is ok so that's good la. Hopefully it'll go off soon cos it's such a bummer not to be able to enjoy food as I once did. Hahahaha.
